We loved our stay the only thing is we thought the hot tub was free but when you arrive they say you had to pay $150 to have a private tub. It was absolutely beautiful evening looking at the stars. But we didn’t know that it would cost any or that much money to use it. Also for that amount of money they should provide a robe to walk to and from your room. And a bigger table beside the tub for your water and and cups. It was after hotel and friendly staff.

Lovely stay, but heavy footed guest above.

The food in the pub was really good and service very friendly. Disappointed that cooked breakfast didn’t start until 10am, we have had our fill of continental breakfasts.

We stayed overnight to break up our journey. The hotel is clean, the staff very friendly and helpful and the food excellent. The only small issue is there is only 1 shower for guests. Otherwise a great place to stop over between the east and west coast.

This is the perfect spot in Lake Brunner. We had an amazing view of the lake on our ground floor room with parking outside. There is a bar/restaurant on site where we had dinner and breakfast the next morning. Both meals were delicious. Our room was clean and tidy. We will definately be staying here again.

It is an older establishment but well maintained. Only thing lacking was that there were no tea or coffee facilities in the room. Aside from that small thing, the staff were excellent, the views incredible and the restaurant and bar well above average. I heard kiwi calling that night which just made the stay perfect. Totally recommend the hot tubs!
